It’s Wednesday, but not really. Tomorrow is Canada Day, and I have the day off work. I am hoping to spend at least part of it outside on the bike, maybe finish the second book in the Foundation series, and get out with the camera a bit. The weather is supposed to cooperate.

It has been a good week so far. The last few weeks have been quite productive at work. We’ve some new hires, and they are really gelling nicely with the team. The cool thing is that everyone is learning, not just the new folks. To me, that sort of thing is proof that you made a good decision when you hired who you ended up with. I have been writing code, and mostly sticking with a single project, which is what makes me most productive. It’s difficult for me to multitask. The code is flowing, and at this point it’s a question of whether I will have enough time to get everything in a usable state before I head off to Vietnam.

On the subject of Vietnam, I’ve been really getting into the idea of giving Buddhism a serious go. Much of it appeals to me as far as a simplified lifestyle goes, and I figure I may have a head start on some of the fundamental precepts. Some things will have to wait. It’s difficult for me to justify potentially visiting a Buddhist temple in Southeast Asia when one of the tougher precepts is to live a life that requires no money. There is a temple here in town, but it is not anywhere near central to the city and getting out to it with no car is practically impossible. We’ll see.

Anyway, it is dinner time. Time. Always time. How about Somewhere in Time, then? Yes. Agreed.
